Angelique Calculated the slope of a line that passed through points (-5,4) and (2,-3) her work is shown below. identify her error and correct her mistakes.

To find the slope, we divide difference of y coordinates with the difference of x coordinates.

Angelique did the same but in x coordinates she should have done 2 - (-5) which is 2 + 5. This was her error.

CORRECTION:

Hope this helps :)

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m =

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 5, 4 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (2, - 3 )

m =

Her error was subtracting 5 from 2 instead of - 5 from 2

m = = = - 1 ← corrected solution
